Mettle Fatigue

Mettle is a person's ability to cope and persevere.

Metal fatigue is when metal is stressed, cracks, and breaks-- sometimes with tragic consequences.
So when someone's mettle is exhausted, leading to personal breakdown, we can call it mettle fatigue.

The year of COVID-19 pandemic social distancing and isolation has led to near universal mettle fatigue.

Dealing with people's antisocial nearing results in mettle fatigue that might not even be comforted by the alcoholy trinity .

speed fatigue

When you exit the highway and accidentally go 15 over the speed limit on a two lane road because you're used to going highway speeds

I got pulled over last night for doing 55 in a 35. That speed fatigue will get you every time.

text fatigue

becoming so annoyed with the delay naturally caused by texting that you finally call the other person to make things faster

We were texting back and forth for awhile, but text fatigue kicked in and I ended up calling her.

chronic fatigue syndrome

Being sick all the time for no discernable reason. Like, fibromyalgia, but more tiredness and less pain. Typically it's really hard to get people to believe you, especially doctors and social security.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome. Although I'm 22 years old, I still have to live with my parents, who seem to think that my illness is something I made up just so that I could drop out of university and pop pills all day.

compassion fatigue

A reluctance to give donations to charities raising funds for natural disasters such as the aftermath of the Tsunami, the S Asian Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters. These events appear to occur with increasing frequency and so the public become weary of constantly being called upon to donate funds to help the needy.

This is also accompanied by a feeling that funds given in the past have been mismanaged through poor administration and other factors: therefore there is little point in making a donation as it will never reach those who need it most.

Roger was suffering from compassion fatigue when he watched another appeal to help the victims of the S Asian Earthquake. This time, he decided, charity begins at home. He went out for a few drinks down the pub.

Tebow Fatigue

groggy tired agitated state one is in when they have had more than enough Tim Tebow stories/hype on the TV, radio, and internet. ESPN is a large cause and side effect of this medical condition. Sadly, the only cure is Pacman Jones, hookers, and blow. See also: Skip Bayless

side effects include - not showing up until the last minute, allergies to alcohol and female body parts, prayer

Biff: Man, I love the Broncos, they are getting some LOOOOVE on ESPN.

Gary: Broncos? It's all about Tebow. I've totally got Tebow Fatigue. Let's go to the strip club and grab some food.

Quarantine Fatigue

Despite the justifiable, life-saving measures provided by social distancing and shelter-in-place directives there has been a significant cost exacted with compliance; lives have been disrupted, businesses crippled and the log-term psychological impact is vast, if not unmeasurable.

Yo! I've done watched every Netflix Series, rerun and crappy B-movie that exists on Amazon Prime, HBO and Cinemax.

Me too. I'm even tired of playing 'escaped convict and the wardens wife' with the Mrs.
DUDE! You REALLY got the Quarantine Fatigue!
